Hubot-Kandan App

An easily deployed Hubot for Kandan, running in the cloud. A regular Algonquin round table of ribaldry and wit.

Installation

You'll need the heroku gem installed with Heroku. Then:

git clone https://github.com/kandanapp/hubot-kandan-app.git
cd hubot-kandan-app

# Add Hubot scripts to ./scripts if you want.
# Visit the [Hubot Script Catalog](http://hubot-script-catalog.herokuapp.com/)
# for some cool tricks you can teach your Hubot.

# Push and scale
heroku create --stack cedar
git push heroku master --force
heroku ps:scale app=1

# *************** EDIT TO ADD YOUR VARIABLES *************** #
# Add any other config variables your extra scripts may need #
heroku config:add HUBOT_KANDAN_CHANNELS=1 HUBOT_KANDAN_HOST=kandan-host HUBOT_KANDAN_TOKEN=kandan-token 

You can get your HUBOT_KANDAN_HOST and HUBOT_KANDAN_TOKEN variables on kandanapp by clicking on App Settings while in Kandan:

Heroku will idle processes after an hour of inactivity, so the Hubot will ping itself periodically if you add the HEROKU_URL environment variable pointing to your app's instance URL:

heroku config:set HEROKU_URL=http://rosemary-britches-123.herokuapp.com

Finally, Some scripts needs Redis to work, Heroku offers an addon called RedisToGo, which has a free nano plan. To use it run:

heroku addons:add redistogo:nano

And add the redis-brain.coffee hubot-script (see section below on Hubot Scripts).

If needed, refer to the full Hubot Heroku installation instructions.

Or if you're running it elsewhere, use the rake kandan:hubot_access_key

Done! Never feel lonely again with your own robotic companion.

Optional configuration

If your Kandan app is running on a non-standard port, or using SSL, you may configure the connection with additional environment variables (be sure to add these to Heroku or wherever your Kandan Hubot app is running):

HUBOT_KANDAN_HOST=443
HUBOT_KANDAN_PROTOCOL=https

Other cloud providers

Installation instructions for other cloud providers are readily accepted, but be sure keep them as close to copy/paste as possible.

Hubot Scripts

Hubot comes with many user-contributed scripts that may be installed. To install Hubot Scripts, add the following to "dependencies" in the package.json file:

"hubot-scripts": ""

And run npm install.

Then add the names of any scripts you like from the hubot-scripts repository to the array in the hubot-scripts.json file, such as:

["redis-brain.coffee", "tweet.coffee", "shipit.coffee"]
